It's not Fink's exectuable, it's Apple's.  You'll need to copy /usr/bin/head
from some other OS X machine (running the same version as you).

Excerpt from web page:

This happens when you install the Perl libwww library on an HFS+ system
volume. It tries to create a new command /usr/bin/HEAD , which overwrites
the existing head command because the file system is case-insensitive. head
is a standard command used in many shell scripts and Makefiles. You need to
get the original head executable back if you want to use Fink.


Question:

How do I get the Fink's original head executable back?

Thank you for your prompt response.
